Our Assessment: The Colt New Service is a large frame, large caliber, double-action revolver made by Colt from 1898 until 1941. Made in various calibers, the .45 Colt version with a 5 1/2" barrel, was adopted by the U.S. Armed Forces as the Model 1909. At the time, the Webley was a standard sidearm in the British Empire, but officers were expected to purchase their own, which more often than not was Colt’s New Service revolver. This example is chambered for .455 Eley and has markings indicating it was sold to the Canadian military. The revolver is in overall Very Good condition, retaining much of its original finish, a strong bore and good mechanics. Given its 1916 manufacture date, it is likely it was purchased as a substitute for the Webley during WWI rather than being an individual officer's purchase. It will make a neat addition to a WWI sidearm collection. Good luck and happy bidding!
